Abstract

Freestanding films of highly pure iron and gold multilayers were fabricated and characterized for their intended use as biodegradable implant materials. These samples were deposited using magnetron sputtering on unheated substrates. This technology allows the combination of various non-compounding materials. After annealing for 2 h at 685 °C and 850 °C, respectively to homogenize the multilayer, the microstructures were investigated using X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy. Due to the annealing, the multilayered microstructure converts into a new multiphase system consisting of an iron matrix and two different kinds of gold morphologies: segregations along grain boundaries and nanosized core–shell like precipitates.

Keywords: Magnetron sputtering; Thin films; Iron–gold; Nanosized core–shell
